In the woods, not far from our landing place,

14ow to Dust a Room.

The proper way to dust a room is to begin
with the walls Pin several thicknesses of
cloth over a broom and sweep the walls
down thoroughly, leaving at the same time
ell the doors and windows open. This matter
- sweeping the walls Is important and should
be done once week in rooms that are much
used. Then with a damp cloth wipe off the
picture cords or wires, the backs of all the
picture frames and the tops Of the door and
window frames. If there is any danger of
injuriug pictures or frames with a damp
cloth use a dry one, but wipe them all off
carefully. As often as you can get a good
draft which will carry the dust out of the
window, shake and beat the curtains, whether
they be Holland, lace, scrim or what not, for
they are prime sinners in the matter Of har-
boring dust
The window-sash, sill and glass-should
also receive attention. Use a large cloth,
with half of it well dampened for busting,
Gle dry end being useful to wipe off small
articles that might be injured by dampness-
aud be careful that you manipulate the cloth
so as to wipe the dust into it and keep it there.
If it gets dirty have a clean one, and always
wash them out and scald them after using.
If there are inside shutters to the windows
they need to be cared for almost as tenderly
as baby. A thorough cleaning every week,
carefully wiping both upper and under sides
of the Stats, is the only thing that will keep
them in decent order. A room Is not thor
Oughly busted until all the furniture and
woodwork and gas fixtures have been cleaned
with the damp buster. Upholstered furni
ture should be taken out, brushed all over
and then wiped with the damp cloth, not for
getting the under side-Florence Finch

woman,s Suffrage societ,as.

Ladies in New York interested in suffrage
for women" are, by means of different local
societies, educating themselves in the ques-
ton of the day as involved in politics and
constitutional rights. One reason, and a very
excellent one, assigned for such a course of
study 8 the ignorance among women of the
theory Of government and the necessity for a
knowledge of the fundamental rules of politi-
cal economy, whether the rights of suffrage
be ever accorded to them or not. OF these
societies, one Is the New York City Woman
Suffrage league" of which Mrs. L. D. Blake,
as successor to Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
is president Another is the "W oman's Suf-
frage committee, " presided over by Mrs. Kate
Palmer Stearns. A third is the Society for
Political Study" at which city and state gov
elnments are discussed. Mrs. Emily Wake
man is president-New York Cor Chicago

Sometimes an impudent ruffian gets his
due at the hands Of woman Not long ago
a modest well bred girl paused for a moment
or a street corner to await the coming of a
friend whom she had left indoors. A man
saw the stationary feminine figure, and, ap-
preaching, began with confidence to talk
about the weather and inquire the young
woman's destination. He was met with a
stony stare. He braved it for a moment and
talked on, but presently his ords began to
fail, he repeated himself, he stammered, he
suffered, he even blushed under the COOL
surprised eyes, and in the end he turned and
almost ran away from the woman he was in
sulting Chicago Herald.

Woman Yersns Man.

There is a growing tendency nowadays for
women to unsex thelnselves-that is, to crowd
into occupations which have up to late years
been occupied exclusively by man. If women
usurp occupations originally intended for the
other sex, what about the men who are
thrown out7 for it is very certain there Is not
room for both" This is a fallacious popular
idea. The question is misunderstood; women
have not become manly, but men have be-
come effeminate. In consequence of all their
time immemorial employments having been
gradually taken from them, women in this
Nineteenth century are absolutely driven to
seek some outlet for their energies, or neces-
sites. in new lines of work.-National Re

Say" 1t was the snake editor who spake,
and he spake with the air of a man aweary Of
life, Il don't know how to use a concordance
anyhow. Where do you find this quotation
that goes on something about Winter linger-
ing in the lap of SPRING."
An embarrassing silence followed the ques-
ton, and the album editor, feeling that all
eyes were turned on him, said he never heard
the quotation before, but it sounded as
though it might be from the Conventicles
THE COn-who-ticles" asked the bewildered
snake editor
"The conventicles-Solomon's song, you
know" said the album editor; "we call them
the cOnventices."

assured, Il had forgotten you belonged to the
Church of England. But find it for me.

The album editor took the Bible and tried
for the cOnventicles a while and then gave it
up, remarking that the passage only occurred
in the revised version.
The commencement editor, who used to
read proof on The Chicago Times, said he had
read the revised Bible clear through, and was
positive the quotation wasn't from the Bible
at all.
The young man who does the book notices
said it was from Pope. "That's what made
me think it was in the Bible" said the snake
editor; "but which pope was it9 There's
more'n hundred of 'em, isn't therei"
The art editor, who had twice gone abroad
with Cooks excursions, said he never saw
the quotation in any of the European
libraries, and the obituary editor said he
never ran across it in his reading TWAS the
general opinion of the convention that the
remark not a quotation at all, but was
original with the snake editor. This compli-
ment the snake editor mOdestly, albeit rather
feebly attempted to deny. Il know he said
